NHL 24 Review - Before You Buy & Before the IGN Review

[@whatsnewvideogames]

Subscribe to the channel if you're interested in seeing more reviews! It also really helps me out in getting games early enough to put out a review! Thanks for watching everyone!

[@junkchannel17]

I'll buy it if/when it goes for half off on Black Friday like the series has the last couple years. As a franchise mode player, I think the ability for players to earn X-factors, the little bug fixes, pressure system, roster updates, and new control scheme (as a player who often gets frustrated by passing and has a tough time with many of the dekes) justifies $35, but definitely not $70.

[@jimmiebongrips9472]

Smart move

[@thekingofkingsrp]

27 was a good deal I waited too.

[@tylervickery6828]

How is it? I'm thinking about getting the trial.

[@junkchannel17]

@@tylervickery6828 I personally feel like it was worth the upgrade. I really like the ability for players to earn X-factors, that alone makes franchise a lot more fun for me since it affects line chemistry so much. Pressure system feels fun, the new goalie animations and fatigue system there is quite cool. Not worth it at full price, but I definitely don't regret spending 35 on it

So I never played a nhl game before so for me playing nhl for the first time would this be a good game for me I see we’re ever one said copy an paste but I never played the 23 one or the ones before it so is it worth it

[@redfox1111999]

The mode that I wanna play the most is Be a Pro.. Last game I bought was NHL 22. It's sad that they never had a good career mode when you compare it to the NBA 2k's and other games. I just don't wanna pay 10 $ each season when I pay 70 $ for a game. Maybe do a be a pro mode that is worthy and I'll buy the game.

[@treverchalmers9473]

I had pre ordered it. I do every year but it doesn't feel like they really did anything different. Like the same cut scene for be a pro? That's pure laziness. I canceled may play 23 like you said until 24 comes on game pass. I can't justify the price tag for this. I love hockey but not this much ea lazy.

[@whatsnewvideogames]

Happy to help. I think for those who don't have NHL 23, this is a fantastic game.

This is by far not a copy paste. Its worse then that

[@Chi21Rican]

Please explain the copy and paste? Looks? Which means you didn’t play the stress test and I can say there’s enough change to gameplay for it not to be a copy and paste gameplay wise.

[@patricklevesque7417]

​@@Chi21Rican when a mode was barely touch, it's pretty much copy and paste

[@christiancordin8374]

If they just would copy-paste the gm-connected of 10 years ago I would be more than happy…

[@captaincannoli]

I’m actually kind of glad EA focused on gameplay changes versus UI or other game modes. The gameplay feels the best it’s been in years. Way less cheese goals and you can play a dump/chase and actually set up plays on the point, etc, versus constant goals on the rush, cheese wraparounds and insane cross crease goals on the rush.

[@whatsnewvideogames]

I think whether this installment is worth buying comes entirely down to player preference. That's why I didn't give it a final score, unless you count the thumbnail.

[@stonegod95]

Yes. It's cool that the keeper can save snipe shots but not every shot now (excluding high pressure). But when the puck just slides towards goal keeper can't even pick it up. He has to make a "save" and then pick it up. It's frustrating because it often leads to a goal. So why not pokecheck?

[@itzshade7830]

Well they never focus on game modes so that was never an issue, they focus on micro transactions, taking to years to add crossplay in pieces shows their laziness and attempt to sell as many copies on old gen as they can.

[@NeverQuit87]

Lol trash gameplay

[@noahpetherbridge5127]

8:03 tbh I kinda like the specific instruction/requirements. Idk if I agree with blocking forward progress for not completing them in that way, but earning stars or points or whatever? Yeah, I like that

[@whatsnewvideogames]

Again, I found this game very hard to review. It totally comes down to subjectivity and player preference. For some, this may be the best entry in the series, and a must buy. For others, it's an exorbitantly overpriced update.

[@dimgodim169]

Is it worth paying for NHL 24 if you mostly play franchise mode?

I cant believe I'm not getting this for the first time since NHL '10. I can't believe its the same Trophy/Achievements yet again! Its unreal. I got the Gretzky career trophy in NHL '12. Why do it again??

[@masonlegge7647]

I like the idea of the pressure system. But is there a way to take off the stupid on-ice visuals of it, like the clock? Also, really not liking the look of the cut-scenes when a goal is scored. I want a realistic feeling game that looks like I’m watching actual hockey, but the visuals and presentation would really take me out of the game.

[@patricklevesque7417]

If you find a way tell me that pressure clock logo is the most annoying thing

[@22bmain]

Did they go back to adding "Full Presentation" like NHL 22? Or, is it still "Quick Play?"

[@kreepyguy8489]

The same cut scene from the last 4 games!? That is atrocious!!

[@22bmain]

How many replay angles do they show after a goal? Do they show any other replays besides goals?

[@briankunst7165]

This game is now on sale for 60% off. Do you think it's worth getting at that price cut?

[@whatsnewvideogames]

It depends on how eager you are to get into the game and if you don't have Game Pass/EA Play. If you have Game Pass I would just play 23 which is available with your subscription until 24 is available. If you don't have Game Pass and are very eager to play the game I suppose there's not much point in waiting for a price drop to $20 if you want to play it now. $30 is probably right about where I would think it becomes worth it, that's about the maximum I would pay for it.

[@briankunst7165]

@@whatsnewvideogames thanks for the reply! I have 23 and only ever play CHEL with my buds. Sounds like I should pass on this year's even with the 60% discount.

[@GizmoBeach]

[@E15E5]

No

[@whatsnewvideogames]

For people who don't have NHL 23 at home or on Game Pass, this is a fantastic game. And for those who just feel like buying NHL 24 this year because they can and because its just as good as last year's game, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

[@troymuni6120]

No. No. No. It is not. It’s a broken mess. It really sounds like you didn’t actually play it because you’d be talking about the broken pressure system and the impact it has on goalies. One shot can fill the meter from zero to 3/4 full. It’s so easily exploitable. The buttons show up to telegraph passes to local versus players, the amount of penalties are so excessive you can’t even poke check, the game feels slow and the players don’t have anywhere near the same agility or responsiveness. Even player changes are slow AF. The worst part of this all is this is the same exact gameplay tuning from a month ago that they flew streamers out to test over a month ago. It’s a complete disgrace. No one wants more overlays and crap on the ice to compensate for lazy development that can’t improve the game without tacking on another stupid bandaid.

[@whatsnewvideogames]

@@troymuni6120 I did notice there were an alarming amount of penalties in 3v3 but I didn't play that much World of Chel last year.

[@whatsnewvideogames]

[@bgkillz373]

Ya making me want to cancel my pre order for this game

[@whatsnewvideogames]

I think that's wise. You can always buy it later, perhaps after you've played the 10-hour trial. I think NHL 24 is good, but it's definitely not pre-order worthy, by any means. The FOMO on the free battle pass is basically the only reason to get it now, so it depends on how important that is to you.

Are goalies still “brick walls”? I hate having to use the same 3 moves to score in nhl23

[@GizmoBeach]

Of course they are...unless they fall over flat following a mild snap-shot. That's about the only way you can score most often. Of course YOUR goalie is a useless blob out there; give up even a partial breakaway after you tried 72 times to check someone off the puck and there goes another soft goal allowed.

[@MikeReimers]

@@GizmoBeach I ended up getting the game. what a pile of garbage LOL... the goalies are much easier to score on, but the overall gameplay has taken a step back... these guys can't get anything right.

[@Kone5497]

As creation focused player, it's sad to see that there isn't anything new in creation zone. Also I have never understood why goalie masks and equipment in CHEL must be exclusive for that single game mode? It's so stupid. I mean, player like me pay same prize as CHEL and HUT players, but get way less. It's stupid. I know this is because it's all about cashcow that is these gamemodes. Guess I will not buy 24 and will stay in 23

I Pre Ordered NHL 24 & picked it up today! I skipped NHL 23 so I’m eager to get back into it with NHL 24! I buy every other NHL game since hockey my favourite sport but buying the game every year doesn’t make sense to me I believe EA Sports should release their games every other year instead of yearly so the new games could all have an experience that actually feels impactful I’m excited to experience improvements from both NHL 23 & NHL 24 in NHL 24s release. With other EA Sport titles I buy every 3 or 4 years as the only ultimate team I play is Hockey Ultimate Team & there isn’t enough upgrades in titles like Madden or FIFA to upgrade on a yearly basis or bi yearly basis when I factor in I don’t play Ultimate Team there I’m looking forward to getting my Hockey Ultimate Team going though! It’ll be going for 2 years for me! 😎plus I’ve always been a Free To Play HUT player, although I’ll probably buy the season pass this year since it’s just been introduced & I want to get the full rewards for grinding the game Not terribly happy they’re locking stuff you’d get by progressing through a Season Pass & I’ve never bought a season pass before in other games. But for NHL 24 if it’s as fun as I think it’ll be…. If the season pass is really impactful & fairly cheap I’ll go for it

No more Classic controls for people that bein playing this for the last 10-20 years .

[@angrypuppett33]

so the big question is the game worth $70 and is it better than 23. The first answer to that is no the second answer is yes. First of all no sport game is worth full price. Game pass, and PlayStation premium give you EA play so right off the bat you get 10 bucks off. You also get 10 hours of gameplay. To me if you’re a hockey fan 61 bucks yeah you can get away with. But remember the full rosters aren’t out yet, so you technically could wait a month or so! If you just play franchise or season like I do!! Play online and you probably already have it!! Unfortunately because it’s EA they’re lazy. The presentation is exactly the same. I have a new commentator she’s OK but the presentation is nothing to write home about just like Madden copy and paste presentation.! But the game, in my opinion is much better than 23. The meters on the players and the new crowd reaction in the fatigue message for the goalies is pretty cool. It’s not the same as 23. It is better but it looks the same, which is unfortunate! I’m gonna wait till the rosters are done. Play my 10 hours and see how much the price goes down! It probably won’t go down till Black Friday. I’ll probably on it by then ! But remember your discount from EA play !!

I mean honestly I can't tell that it's doing anything personally.

Full pressure baby!

Stupid me. I bought this game with the ideals of Bedard reigning champ as rookie with a really fun and inviting Be A Pro Mode…instead, this entire game is a flop. You can’t hit any players, my hit stick misses every player, the graphics on the ice look like a 94’ game and this “pressure system” is a joke. It gets worse. The goalie animations during the game, are widely exaggerated, the puck controls are nothing like the real life game I swear for some reason, 2006’ was their best year & after 18 years…they should have gotten their shit together by now. Be a career mode, should be a full on, hands on Mcdavid type lifestyle… you should be able to buy a house, have a real dialogue, advertisement deals etc. instead, we got Nada. $76 dollars later… we got nothing but trash

Run it back!!

EAs NHL 24 is a 9.5 easy. Why does this franchise never get the respect it deserves? No competition? EA? What do you want in the game that will fix it? Silence......NHL 23 9.0.... 24 9.5! 8... Not Good ? Roundhouse to face! I'm Pissed now..... Thanks!

[@Theblackopsguy88]

[@everyonesguy7466]

The pay wall and the unchanged bs is the main reason why I won’t be picking up this nhl game since 2000s lol wow gaming has really fallen off

[@Raiders-wm5kb]

Not worth it. Hard PASS

[@TheDabull11375]

The game is horrible. They tell you that you too early on the face off although you do the exact same thing every time then you go on a hot streak for maybe two or three games and then when you skate it’s like your blades are dull That’s why they give away for free through PlayStation.

[@bortlestheboat]

played it today… absolute trash

[@Zbgaming23]

How so give genuine examples why you think it sucks

[@Jeff-nf9ii]

the pressure system has always been there theyre just making it obvious now. Everyone always wondered about ice tilt. Dump it in, shoot alot and your ai plays better lmao they just made it into a system now lmao people so dumb

[@reynev4n]

It's 2023 and they can't do animated net, on a current gen of consoles while the old gen had it for years, fking pathetic.

[@Dalmatinac3]

These EA games every year are just money grabbers. Same as phones, every year new model when at the end of the day they do do same thing as any other phone pretty much. These improvements seem like these games should be expansions or addons, or updates..for like 40 bucks or something. That would make everyone love EA. But this 80 dollar tiny improvement games that feel like the previous just won't cut it for many of us.
